As our world civilization moves into the twenty first century, our greatest cause for optimism is the emerging recognition of the underlying oneness of life. Humanity's loftiest spiritual traditions have taught for centuries that our lives are integral parts of a universal whole; today they are being joined with physicists, the new "visionaries," who are proclaiming that one chord of unity links the farthest galaxies with the smallest cells of our bodies. And as their findings begin to coalesce with those of biology, medicine, psychology, ecology, and other fields, we find ourselves poised at the brink of a revolution in human understanding - catching glimpses of a unity and harmony so vast, so breathtakingly perfect, that we are left with a radically different view of ourselves and our potentials.
This new vision offers a deep sense of reassurance in the face of profound challenges confronting our world today. We are beginning to see that we are not helpless victims of a randomly chaotic cosmos. Diseases of body and mind; the equally alarming "dis-eases" affecting our family, social, and economic stability; the ecological threats to the earth itself - all these arise from a lack of accord with the essential harmony and unity of the cosmos, whether on the personal, community, national, or planetary level. By learning to integrate our lives with this universal harmony we can victoriously meet any challenges to our well-being.
Our age has been the recipient of an unprecendented number of theories and methods for achieving that well being. Medicine, psychology, and the burgeoning numbers of metaphysical approaches all offer solutions from their specialized perspectives, but the resulting avalanche of information, much of it seemingly contradictory, often leaves us unable to discern a continuity, and order that gives focus to our efforts to help ourselves and others. We find ourselves yearning for a larger perspective, some way of harmonizing and transcending the partial views resulting from the era's overspecialization.
That larger perspective - anciently discovered by the founders of the world's great spiritual traditions and newly glimpsed by pioneering scientists of modern times - reveals that underlying both science and religion are universal principles that govern all of creation. "Science looks at truth only from without," Paramahansa Yogananda said. "The metaphysician looks at Truth from within to without. That is why they clash. But realized souls who understand science as well as metaphysics find no difference at all. They see parallelsim between science and truth because they see the whole picture.
Paramahansa Yogananda's lifework was to show how each of us can transform that vision of harmony from an intellectual possibility into direct personal experience that is applicable in our daily lives. A world teacher who brought the ancient science of yoga meditation to the West in 1920, he dedicated his life to uniting the East and West in the lasting ties of spiritual understanding, and to help others toward realization of the infinite resources of peace, love, and joy that exist within every human being.To disseminate among the nations a knowledge of definite scientific techniques for attaining direct personal experience of God. To teach that the purpose of life is the evolution, through self-effort, of man's limited mortal consiousness into God Consciousness, and to this end to etablish Self-Realization Fellowship temples for God-communion throughout the world and encourage the establishment of individual temples of God in the homes and hearts of men. To reveal the complete harmony and basic oneness of original Christianity as taught by Jesus Christ and original Yoga as taught by Bhagavan Krishna, and to show that these principles of truth are the common scientific foundation of all true religions. To point out the one divine highway to which all paths of true religious beliefs eventually lead: the highway of daily, sientific, devotional meditation on God. To liberate man from his threefold suffering: physical disease, mental inharmonies, and spiritual ignorance. To encourage "plain living and high thinking"; and to spread a spirit of brotherhood among all peoples by teaching the eternal basis of unity: kinship with God To demonstrate the superiority of mind over body, of soul over mind. To overcome evil by good, sorrow by joy, cruelty by kindness, ignorance by wisdom. To unite science and religion through realization of unity of their underlying principles. To advocate cultural and spiritual understanding between East and West, and the exchange of their finest distinctive features. To serve mankind as one's larger Self.
"Give me holy health, but give my brothers more, That I may enjoy my greater health in the greater myself. Give me power, But to my dear ones give it more abundantly, That I may wield the strength of all minds United in my mind. Give me wisdom, That I may make my loved ones more wise, And that I may feel its rays spreading On the vast tract of merged brother-souls. Teach me to behold through all eyes, Work through all hands, and feel my heartthrobs in all --- as I do for myself. I want health to be a model for others' health As well as for my own. I want to be efficient, To turn ineffieceny away from earth's door. I want wisdom's freedom, That I may enjoy my liberty only In the universal freedom of all -- In the spiritualemancipation of all!"
